When Saint Stephen's was built in 1831, it was intended to be "a conspicous object for miles up Lake St-Louis". Today it cannot be seen from the lake, or even from the waterfront road. The building of Ste-Anne Convent, especially its upper east wing, now hides Saint Stephen's from view on that side.
The visitor will find Saint Stephen's by leaving the waterfront and going up Twelfth Avenue, the first street east of the convent. He will come upon this old church and churchyard immediately behind the convent.
The lychgate is located at the beginning of a path that runs along the cemetery and leads to the entrance of the church. It is a wooden structure with 10 posts on a stone base and with a tiled roof. I found no information on this lychgate.
